Groundhog Day can be more than a fun holiday predicting the rest of winter; have you ever considered that it’s also the perfect time to schedule routine maintenance for your HVAC system? At Bell Mechanical Services, our team of certified experts can keep your heating and cooling system in top shape. It just so happens that this time of year is ideal for an HVAC maintenance visit.

The Best Time to Plan Your HVAC Maintenance Service

As Groundhog Day marks the potential for spring, it's also an ideal time to take a look at your furnace. For example, constant freezing temperatures can put considerable wear on important parts of the system. Staying on top of routine HVAC maintenance gives an experienced HVAC professional a chance to see if your furnace needs a tune-up.

A checkup at Groundhog Day also prepares your air conditioning or cooling system before the busy summer season. In fact, the recommended schedule of two maintenance appointments each year will offer the best results. One should be as winter ends with the other in fall.

Key Items to Include in Your HVAC Checkup

Routine maintenance visits are essential for ensuring your HVAC system operates efficiently for many years. A thorough inspection and cleaning process gives our technicians adequate time to make sure everything is in good condition. During a visit, some specific maintenance tasks your technician will carry out can include:

  • Replacing the air filters or replenishing lost coolant: Ensuring the right balance of airflow and filtration is critical, which means periodically cleaning or switching out the air filters. If your system has lost any refrigerant, we'll refill the supply and identify the problem.
  • Clearing the drain lines: Cleaning the drainage system keeps things flowing like it’s supposed to and minimize the risk of water damage.
  • Checking electrical connections and safety features: Making sure that the wiring and software features are functioning properly is crucial. This reduces the risk of fires and ensures your system's reliability.

The best kind of HVAC maintenance is proactive—preventing problems before they occur. Such proactive service from our professionals can offer your heating and cooling systems the best chance for long-term efficiency.
